Work for a Cooper 2, Argument 11

Reuerend. T.C. page. 38.

His grace neuer felt bl…w as yet / &c. What is he paſt ſeeking wilt thou tel me that T.C he ſleepeth belike in the top of ye rouſt. I would not be ſo wel thwacked for the popedome of Canter. as he hath borne poore man. He was neuer able to make good ſyllogiſme ſince I am ſure. Hee alowed D. Bridges his booke quoth T.C. I pray thee what got he by that / but a teſtimony againſt him ſelfe / that either he hath allowed treaſon / or confeſſed him ſelfe to be the biſhop of the Diuell.

T.C. page. 38. He that readeth his grace his anſwere / & M. Cartwrights reply / ſhal ſee which is the better lerned of the twoe. So he ſhal in deed T.C. and he were very ſimple which could not diſcerne that. And there is ſoe much anſwered already as thou faiſt / that his grace dare anſwere no more for ſhame. And T.C. you your ſelues grant T. Cartwright to be learned / ſo did I neuer think Iohn Whitgift to bee / what compariſon cann you make betwene them? But Thomas Cartwright / ſhall I ſay / that thou madeſt this booke againſt me / becauſe T.C. is ſett to it wel take heed of it / if I find it to be thy doing / I will ſo beſoop thee / as thou neuer bangedſt Iohn Whitgift better in thy life. I ſee heere that they hauehave quarrelled with thee Water Trauerſe / Iohn / Penri / Thomas Sparke / Giles Wiggington / Maſter Dauiſon / &c. Nay it is no matter / you are een wel ſerued / this wil teach you I trow to become my chaplaines. For if you were my chaplains once / I trowe Iohn Whitgift / nor any of his / durſt not once ſay blacke to your eies. And if I had thy learning Thomas Cartwright / I would make them all to ſmoak. But though I were as verye an Aſſchoad as Iohn Catercap is / yet I coulde deale well inough with cleargie men: yea with olde Winken de word D. Prime his ſelfe. And ile bepiſtle you D. Prime / when I am at more leaſure / though in deede I tell you true / that as yet I doe diſdaine to deale with a contemptible trencher chaplaine / ſuch as you / D. Bankcroft / and Chaplaine Duport are. But iſe be with you all three to bring one day / you ſhall neuer ſcape my fingers / if I take you but once in hande. You ſee how I hauehave delt with Deane Iohn / your entertainement ſhalbe alike. But Thomas Cartwright / thou art T.C. ſo is Tom Cooper too. The diſtinction then / betweene you both / ſhall be this: he ſhalbe profane T.C. becauſe he calleth Chriſt Ieſus / by whom the gouernment by Paſtors / Doctors / Elders & Deacons was commanded / to be he knowes not whom: and thou ſhalt be ſimple T.C.

Concerning Miſtreſſe Lawſon / profane T.C. is it not lawfull for her to go to Lambeth by water / to accompanie a preachers wife / going alſo (as commonly godly matrons in London do) with her man:Qui pergit quod vult dicere quae non vult audiet. No ſaith T.C. I doe not like this in women. Tuſhe man / Thomas Lawſon is not Thomas Cooper / he has no ſuche cauſe to doubt of Dame Lawſons going without her huſbande / as the biſhop of Wincheſter hath had of dame Coopers gadding But more worke for Cooper / will ſay more for Miſtreſſe Lawſon.

From whom ſoeuer Charde had his protection / his Face is glad of it / for otherwiſe he knoweth not how to get a printer / for the eſtabliſhed gouernment / becauſe the bookes will not ſell.

Touching the Premunire / let the Libeller and his / doe what he dare.T.C. pag. 40. Why brethren / what wiſedome is this in you to dare your betters? doe you not know that I can finde you my minde by a Piſtle / and then prooue you to be pettie Popes / and enemies to the State. And how can you mend your ſelues. It is certaine you are in a premunire. If her Maieſtie will giuegive me leaue to hauehave the law / I will be bound to bring 10000. poundes into her coffers vponupon that bargain. And therefore fooliſh men / dare your betters no more. And here I pray thee mark how I hauehave made the biſhops to pull in their hornes. For whereas in this place / they had printed the word dare, they bethought themſelues / yt they had to deale with my worſhip / which am fauoured at the Court / and being afraide of me / they paſted the word can vponupon the word dare, and ſo / where before they bad me and mine doe what we durſt: now they bid vsus do what we can / hoping thereby to hauehave a frinde in a corner / whoe woulde not ſuffer vsus to doe what wee ought and durſt: and ſo our abilitie ſhoulde not be according vntounto their demerit. Marke now / ye biſhopps of the Diuell / whether you be not afraide of me: I will ſee you iolled with the Premunire one day.

The like thing you ſhal finde in the 135. page. For there hauing ſaid / that they wil not denie the diſcipline to hauehave bene in the Apoſtles time / they hauehave now paſted there vponupon that / That is not yet proued. So that although their conſciences do tell them / that the diſcipline was then / yet they will beare the world in hand / that that is not yet proued. Here you ſee that if this patch T.C. had not vſed two patches to couer his patcherie / the biſhops woulde hauehave accounted him to be as very a patch as Deane Iohn.

A / but theſe knaue puritans are more vnmannerly before his grace / then the recuſaunts are / and therefore the recuſants hauehave more fauor. I cannot blame them / for wee ought to hauehave no popes. The papiſts liketh the Archiepiſcopall Pall / and therefore reuerenceth a petty Pope therein. And though the recuſant come not to heare the ſermons / yet he is an informer very often / vppon other mens information.

His grace denieth that euer he hard of any ſuch matter / as that the Ieſuit ſhould ſay / he would becom a braue Cardinal / if popery ſhould come againe. I knowe T.C. that long ſince he is paſt ſhame / and a notorious lyer / otherwiſe how durſt he deny this / ſeeing Cliffe an honeſt and a godly cobler / dwelling at Battell bridg / did iuſtifie this before his grace his teethe / yea and will iuſtifie the ſame againe if he be called. So will Atkinſon too.page. 41. page 46. page. 44.Send for them if he dare. Miniſters of the Goſpel ought to be called prieſts / ſaith his grace / what ſay you by that? Then good ſir Iohn O Cant. when wilt thou ſay Maſſe at our houſe. His grace is alſo perſwaded / that there ought to be a Lordly ſuperioritie among miniſters. So was Iudas perſwaded to ſell his maſter. If you woulde hauehave theſe thinges prooued / profane T.C. referreth you to his grace his anſwer vntounto ſimple T.C. and to doctor Bridges. That is / if you woulde learne any honeſtie / you muſt go to the ſtewes / or if you would hauehave a good ſauour / you muſt go to the ſincke for it. Why thou vnſauorly ſnuffe / doſt tow thinke that men know not D. Bridges and Iohn Whitgift. Yea but his grace alſo firmely beleeueth / that Chriſt in ſoule deſcended into Hell. This is the 3. point of his catholike perſwaſion: but tell him from me / that he ſhal neuer be ſaued by this beliefe / and my finger in his mouth. Let him tell what our ſauiour Chriſt ſhould do / if he did not harrow Hell. Where thou ſaieſt M. Yong had onelyonly the dealing with Thakwel the popiſh printer / without his graces priuitie / thou lieſt in thy throat: M. Yong him ſelfe brought him to his grace / who ordered the matter as it is ſet downe in my Piſtle. But did not I ſay truely of thee / yt thou canſt cog / face & lye / as faſt as a dog can trot / and that thou haſt a right ſeaſoned wainſcoate face of ti nowne / chwarnt tee / ti vorehead zaze hard as horne.

Concerning Walde-graue / its no matter how you deal with him / heez a fooliſh fellow / to ſuffer you to ſpoyle his preſſe and letters: an a had bin my worſhips printer / ide a kept him from your clouches. And yet it is pitie to belye the diuell: and therefore you ſhall not belye / him and goe ſcotfree. As for the preſſe that Walde-graue ſolde / he did it by order / vz. He ſolde it to an allowed printer / I.C. one of his owne companie / with the knowledge of his Warden / Henry Denham / &c. And cal you this fauor / in releaſing him after long impriſonment? But I will giuegive you a preſident of great fauour in deede / wherein you may ſee what an vngrateful fellow Walde-graue is to his grace / who hath bin ſo good vntounto him from time time. There being a controuerſie betweene another printer and Walde-graue (all matters of printing being committed by the LL. of the Counſell to his grace) Walde-graue made one of his company his friende (who could do much with his grace) to deale for him / who brake the matter to his worſhip / being at Croydon in his Orcharde: ſo ſoone as the partie named Walde-graue / he ſweetely aunſwered him / ſaying: if it had bin any of the cōpany ſaue him / he would hauehave graunted the ſuite / but in no caſe to Walde-graue. Well Walde-graue / obtayned the R. H. Lord Treaſurers letter in his behalfe to his grace / who when he had read it / ſaid / I wil anſwer my L. Treaſurer: with that Walde-graue intreated for his fauorable letter to the Wardens of his companie / which in the end through D. Cooſins he obtained (though late) yet went home at night / thinking to deliuer it in the morning: but before he was readie / the Wardens were with him / and reſted him with a Purciuant vponupon his graces commandement / Walde-graue telling them there was a letter from his grace / which he receiued late the laſt night at Croidon: who anſwered / they knew it well inough / but this is his pleaſure now: ſo they caried Walde-graue to priſon / and in this / his grace was ſo good vntounto him / as to help him with an hundred marks ouer the ſhulders.A new reuenge for an old grudge. If this be your fauour / God keepe me from you / ka M. Marprelate. Biſhops hauehave iuſtly receiued according to their deſertes / hauing found greater fauour at my worſhips hands thē euer they deſerued / being notorious / diſobedient & godleſſe perſons / vnthrifty ſpenders & conſumers of the fruits / not of their own labors / (as you ſay Walde-graue was) but of the poſſeſſions of the church / perſons that hauehave violated their faith to god / his church / hir maieſty / & this whol kingdom / & wittingly bring vsus al without the great mercy of god to our vndoing: ſo that our wiues / children & ſeruants hauehave cauſe to curſe al L. Bb. Lo T.C. you ſee that I hauehave a good gift in imitation / and me thinkes I hauehave brought your wordes into a marueilous good ſenſe / wher as before in the cauſe of Walde-graue / they were ilfauoredly wreſted: and as for his wife & children / they hauehave iuſt cauſe to curſe Iohn of London / and Iohn of Canterburie / for their tyrannizing ouer him: by impriſoning and ſpoyling his goods / and vexing his poore wife and children / with continuall rifeling his houſe with their purciuants: who in Nouember laſt / violently ruſht into his houſe / breaking through the maine wall thereof after midnight / taking away his goods / for ſome of the purciuants ſolde his books vp and downe the ſtreats / to watchmen and others. Ah you Antichriſtian prelats / when will you make an ende of defending your tyrannie / by the blood and rapine of her maieſties ſubiectes? You hauehave bin the conſumers of the fruits of Walde-graues labors: for hauehave you not ſent him ſo often to priſon / that it ſeemed you made a common occupation thereof? For aſſoon as any book is printed in the defence of Chriſts holy diſcipline / or for yt detecting of your Antichriſtian dealings / but your rauening purciuantes flye citie & countrie to ſeeke for Walde-graue / as though he were boūd by ſtatute vntounto you / either to make known who printed ſeditious books againſt my L. Face / or to go to priſon himſelfe / and threatned with the racke.O the greatnes of his graces fauor. And are you not aſhamed to ſay / that he euer violated his fayth? you know wel inough / that he is neither Archb. nor L.B. The caſe thus ſtood / after he had remained a long time in priſon / not that time when Hartwell his graces ſecretary wiſht that his grace might neuer eat bit of bread after he releaſed him. Nor at that time when you profane T.C. to… him / that all puritans had traiterous hearts. Nor at that time Wald-graue tolde his grace / that he was worſe thē Boner in regard of the time. Nor that time when he was ſtraungely releaſed by one of the Lorde of good Londons Swans. Neither was it at yt time / when his grace (good conſcionable noble man) violated his promiſe / in that he told the wardens of the ſtaciouers / that if Walde-graue woulde come quietly to him / & ceaſe printing of ſeditious bookes / he would pardon what was paſt / & the wardens promiſed his wife / that if he were committed / they would lye at his graces gate til he were releaſed / and for al this / yet he was committed to the white Lyon / where he laye ſixe weekes. Nor it was not at that time / when his grace allowed Watſon the purciuant / to take of Walde-graue / 13. s. 4. pence / for cariyng of him to the white Lyon. But it was that time / when his grace kept him 20. weekes together in the white lyon / for printing the Complaint of the comminaltie / the Practize of prelats / A learned mans iudgment / &c. Means being vſed for his liverty / his freud who was bound for him told him / his liberty was obtained in maner following. You muſt be bounde ſaith he / in a 100. pounds / to print no more books herafter / but ſuch as ſhalbe authorized by hir Maieſty or his grace / or ſuch as were before lawfully authorized: wherunto he anſwered / that it was not poſſible for him to containe himſelfe within the compaſſe of that bond / Whereby it may appeare he ſwore not to his friend.neither ſhould his conſent euer go to the ſame (the ſame wil D. Cooſins witnes (that maidenly Doctor / who ſits cheek by ioll with you) if he will ſpeake a trueth / which words Walde-graue vttered to him / going in the old pallas at weſtminſter with his keeper before he was releaſed) yet he woulde gladly hauehave his libertie if he might lawfully. For ſaide he / I being a poore workeman to my companie / cannot poſſibly obſerue it. For many bookes heretofore printed / had cum priuilegio, & yet were neuer authorized: & againe / that it were but a folly for him to ſue to her Maieſtie / the office were very baſe and vnfit for her. And he might be wel aſſured that Caiphas of Cant. would neuer authorize any thing for his behoofe / and ſo it fell out. And thus Martin hath prooued you in this / as in all other things / to be lyars. And what is it that you Bb. & your hangones will not ſaye by Walde-graue / whom you would hang if you could. I will be briefe in the reſt / but ſo / as reader may perceiue that T.C. was hired to lye by commiſſion.

I wil ſtand to it / that his grace accounteth the preaching of the word / being the only ordinary meanes of ſaluation to be an hereſie / & doth mortally perſecute the ſame:page. 46. page. 47.his appellation to the obedient cleargie ſhall ſtand him in no ſteed / when more worke for Cooper / is publiſhed. And there I will pay thee for abuſing M. Wiggington / and Maſter Dauiſon / whoſe good names can take no ſtaine / from a biſhops chopps.page. 47. If his grace reiected Maſter Euans for want of conformity / why is the quare impedit gotten againſt the biſhopp of Worceſter / by the noble Earl of Warwick his patron. I hope he wil ſee both the quare impedit, and the premunire to / brought vppon the bones of father Edmond of Worceſter.page. 48. 49. It is a common bragge with his grace his paraſites / and with him ſelfe / that he is the ſecond perſon in the land. More work ſhal pay his grace for commending the Apocripha a profane and a lying ſtorye in many places / to be vnſeperably ioined with the holy word of God.2: Eſdras. 14.21.37. &c. You grant D. Spark to hauehave ſet his grace and your ſelfe T.C. at a non plus, page. 50,for the ſeptuaginta is contrary to the Hebrew / and therefore / you maintain contrary tranſlations / and require men to aproue both. Martin hath marred Richard patriks market / for otherwiſe he was in good hope to hauehave a benefice at his grace his hand / & to be made a minſtrell. Shameleſſe and impudent wretches that dare deny Iohn of Cāt. to hauehave bin at any time vnderunder D. Perne / but as a fellowe of the houſe / where he was maſter / whereas all the world knoweth him to hauehave bin a poore ſcholler in that houſe / yea and his grace hath often confeſſed / that hee beinge there a poore ſcholler / was ſo poor as he had not a napkin to wipe his mouth / but when he hadd gotten ſome fatte meat of O the fellowes table / would go to the ſkrine / and firſt wipe his mouth on the on ſide and then O the other / becauſe he wanted a napkin / iudge you whether this bee not a meaner ſtate / then to cary a cloakbag / which is not ſpoken to vpbraide any mans pouerty / but to pull the pride of Gods enemy / an aſe lower. Although wee cannot beleeue D. Perne in the pulpit / yet in this point wee will not refuſe his teſtimony. I am gladd Iohn of London you will not deenie / but you hauehave the Diars cloth / make reſtitution then:page. 51. 52. 53. 54. thou madeſt the porter of thy gate a miniſter Iohn / and thou mighteſt do it lawfully. Why ſo I pray thee / why man / becauſe he was almoſt blinde / and at Paddington being a ſmall people / hee could not ſtarue as many ſoules / as his maſter doth / which hath a great charge.page. 55. 56. I hope M. Madox will thinke ſcorne / to aſk Iohn of London forgiueneſſe. The ſubſtance of the tale is true. I told you that I had it at the ſecond hand. Are you not aſhamed / to deny the elmes to be cut downe at Fulham? Why her maieſties taker tooke them from Iohn of London. And ſimple fellowes / are you not able to diſcern between a pleſant frump giuen you by a counſellor / and a ſpech vſed in good earneſt. Alas poore Iohn O London / doeſt thou thinke / that M. Vicechamberlain ſpake as he thought. Then it is time to begg thee for aſwagg. And ſo it is if thou thinkeſt wee will beleeue the turncoate D. Perne ſpeaking vntounto vsus in his own name / who like an Apoſtatae / hath out of the pulpit / tolde ſo many vntruthes. And as it is as lawfull to boule / O the Sabboth / page. 57. 58.as it is to eat / and for you to make dumbe miniſters as it was for Dauid to eat of the ſhew bread pag. 110. or for the Machabees to fight on the Sabboth / or for Moſes to grant a bil of diuorcement? I perceiue theſe men will hauehave the good diuinity / if it be to be gotten for money.page. 62. Yea and our Sauiour Chriſt / ſware by his faith very often. How ſo good Iohn. I neuer hard that before / why ſaith T.C. he ſayd Amen Amen very often / and Amen / is as much as by my faith / page. 62. horrible and blaſphemous beaſtes / whither will your madnes growe in a while / if you be not reſtrained. M. Allen the Grocer is paid all ſaue 10. pound:page. 58. for the vſe of that / the executors hauehave Iohn O Londons bleſſing. And I thinke they are reaſonably wel ſerued.page. 59, If the tale of Beniſon be not true / why was Iohn of London alotted by the counſel / to pay him (I think) 40. pounds for his falſe impriſonment. Iohn of London is not dumb / becauſe he preacheth ſomtimes thriſe a yeare at Pauls croſſe. Then we ſhall neuer make our money of it I ſee.page. 6. 61, 62. But I pray thee T.C. howe canſt thou excuſe his blaſpeemie / of Eli, Eli, lammaſabackthani: there hauehave bin 2. outragious facts amongſt others committed in the world / by thoſe that profeſſe true religion / the on was the betraying of our ſauiour by Iudas an apoſtle / the other was the horrible mocking of his agonie and bitter paſſion / by Iohn Elmar a biſhop in this ſpeeche. If he had bene in ſome reformed Churches / the blaſpheemer woulde hauehave hardly eſcaped with his life. And is it true ſweete boy in deed? Hath Leiceſtorſhiere ſo embraced the Goſpell without contention / and that by Dumb Iohns meanes? Litle doeſt thou know what thou haſt done nowe / howe if Martin be a Leyceſter ſhiere man / haſt not thou then ſett out the praiſe of thine owne bane? For martin I am ſure / hath wroght your Caiphas Chaire more wracke and miſery / then all the whole land beſide. And therefore thou ſeeſt / a man may be ſo madd ſomtimes / that he may praiſe he cannot tel what. The biſhop of Rocheſter in preſenting him ſelfe to a parſonage / did noe more then lawe allowed him.page. 63, And do ſo againe good Iohn of Rocheſter / and it will be for thy credit. Fo / theſe puritans woulde finde fault I thinke with Iohn of Cant. (if he beleeuing that Chriſte in ſoule went to Hell) ſhould holde it vnlawfull for a man to pray vntounto Chriſte being in hell. And ſweet Iohn of Cant. if euer thou praiedſt in thy life for any bodies ſouls / now pray for thy brother D. Squire and Tarletons ſoules. They were honeſt fellows / though I think dean Iohns ears be longer. For why good ſweet Iohn / may not your worſhip do this / as well as William of Lincolne might pray / that our ſoules ſhould be with the ſoules of profeſſed traiterous papiſts.page. 63. 64.

The good B. of Wincheſter did not proteſt / that at ſir M. Oueries which was laid to his charge / but he ſpake ſom things that way.page. 14. 65. 66. &c. Wel brother Wincheſter / you confeſſe the moſt part / & we wil beleeue the reſt for your ſake without witnes.page. 71. The B. of Wincheſter neuer ſaid that it was an hereſie / to holde that the preaching of the worde was the only ordinarie means to ſaluation / but inaſmuch as Penri helde that the effect of ſaluation coulde not be wrought by the word read / he ſaid that was not far from hereſie: why brother Cooper / what is this els but open confeſſion. For Iohn Penri as appeareth in his writings holdeth the word read / to be no ordinary means of ſaluation at al. This I know you wil accoūt an hereſie / otherwiſe your caſe is damnable / that cauſe the people to content themſelues with reading / & hold that they may ordinarily be ſaued thereby.page. 72. 75. Yea but T. of Wincheſter diſputed a M. of Art / 45. yeare ago in diuinitie. Here is an old lad once. I hope that diſputation was very cholerickly performed. And he did once as prety a thing as that came to. For once preaching at Canter. he was diſpoſed to note out T.C. I meane ſimple T.C. in his ſermon / his part he plaid after this ſort. He noted 4. great Hidraes of the goſpell in his ſermon. 1. Carnall ſecurity. 2. Heathniſh gentility. 3. Obſtinat papiſtrie / 4. ſaith he / when I looke in his forehead / I finde T.C. written therein / which I cannot otherwiſe interpret / then thankles curioſitie / thankleſſe for the benefits already receiued / & more curious then needs in vain & needles queſtions. The old ſtudēt did not know himſelfe to be T.C. when he thus ſpake / & this is ye thankles curioſity yt hath anſwered Martin. Yea & he ſaw martins picture drawn when he was a yong man. I perceiue then he was not blind / as the old porter of Paddington / whom Iohn of London be deaconed & beminſtrelled. Lucian of Wincheſter himſelfe was Nje painter. Mydas of Cant. the iudge. The one of the 2. womē caled ignorance / was the good wife of Bath / D. Culpable warden of new colledge / ye other called ielious ſuſpicion / was ye fox Iohn of Exetor. Thē came in Winkendeword / allas D. Prime callumniator. This Winken & his L. of Wincheſter / drew innotencie: to wit / Martin Marprelat gentleman by the haire of the head. Then followed Dolus fraus inſidiae. To wit / D. Perne / D. Kenold & D. Coſins. The treader was cankered malice / his eyes were fierie / his face thinn & withered / pined away with melancholi / & this was D. Copcoat. Then followed dolfull repentance / yt is / dean Iohn / repenting that euer he had writtē in the Bb. behalfe / becauſe his grace is not as good as his worde. T.C. conſider this picture vntill we meet againe. Now my buſines calleth me away / I am trauelling towards Banbury / for I here ſay that there hath bin old adoe. For bakers daughters wold hauehave knights whether they would or no. I wil learne the trueth hereof / & and ſo I will poſt to Solihill / & viſiting ſom parts of Stafford / Warwick / & Northampton ſhires / I will make a iourney backe againe to Norfolke and ſuffolke: I hauehave a regiſter at Burie / & by that time my viſitors will be come out of Cornwall / Deuon & Hampſhire. And now fare thee well good profane T.C. I cannot now meddle with the long period which thou haſt in the 33. 34. pag. of thy book / it is but 38. lines: thou art longer wided then Deane Iohn is I ſee / though he hath longer periods then that which I ſet downe. Whereas thou doſt complaine that the liuings of our biſhopps are ſo ſmall / that ſome of their children are like to go a begging. There is a preſent remedy for that. For to what end els / is Iohn of Cant. vnmaried / but to prouide for the biſhops children who ſhalbe poorly left. Though in deed / I neuer ſaid in my life / that there was euer any great familiaritie (though I know there was ſome acquaintaunce) betweene miſtris Toye and Iohn Whitgift. And ile befie em / ile befie em that will ſay ſo of me. And wherfore is Richard of Peterborowe vnmaried / but to prouide for other mens children. O now I remember me / he has alſo a charge to prouide for / his hoſteſſe and coſin of Sibſon. The peticoat which he beſtowed vponupon her / within this ſix moneths was not the beſt in England / the token was not vnmeete for hir ſtate. Farewell / farewell / farewell olde Martin / and keepe thee out of their handes for all that. For thou art a ſhrewd fellowe / thou wilt one day ouerthrow them Amen. And then thou ſweareſt by thy faith / quoth Iohn of London.
